It’s nice for the bride to be able to have a trial session prior to your wedding day especially if you’re trying something brand new with your hair or make up.

Make sure if you don’t get a trial session (or even if you do) that you have pictures of what you want.

You should schedule your trial session close to your wedding day. If you’re a destination bride you’ll have a limited time and we’ll schedule it whenever you can.

Anything I should know for my wedding day?

Yes the bride, bridal party, and family members getting hair and make up services should have clean dry hair washed the night before and clean faces. If you’re having a sunset wedding; you might want to wash and dry your hair the morning of the wedding. The days of having dirty hair are long gone! We have products now to create volume and texture. Also, unless you have frizzy hair, don’t over moisturize your hair after washing because it can create flat hair that is difficult to hold a curl. Using a volumizing spray or mousse to add volume before you blow your hair dry is good. Layering product ensures longer-lasting hairstyles.
For your face; you don’t want to layer on moisturizers and sunscreen. In our humid climate too many products are not good. Let us start with a clean face to ensure your make up will last.
The bride as well as the bridal party should bring pictures of hair and make up that they like. That will ensure that you get exactly the look that you want. It is important when choosing pictures to pick faces who have similar features as you.
